Where to find it in X and Y
Match the version, area and method before travelling. Grass, flowers, Horde Encounters, fishing, Rock Smash, ambushes, gifts and the Friend Safari are separate encounter methods.
No direct wild or gift encounter is recorded for this form. Use its evolution family, breed an obtained parent, or trade it in from another game.
